The First Omen’s concentration on religious themes is what makes it unique. This prequel takes place in an Italian convent instead of the traditional family house where the first film, which centred on a little child named Damien, who was thought to be the Antichrist, was based. The story is given an unusual twist by the contrast of religious devotion with the evil forces of Satan, which promises a compelling and original plot.
